Which of the Following Would Count as an Objection to Nell's

Question 622

Multiple Choice

Which of the following would count as an objection to Nell's argument that famine deaths violate people's right not to be killed unjustifiably although they are the unintended, uncertain, and not immediate consequences of the actions of many?


A) The right not to be killed can only be violated if one dies as a result of a single person acting who intends one's certain and immediate death.
B) Famine deaths are not unavoidable deaths or cases of self-defense and so do not count as unjustifiable killings.
C) Although people can die from the unintended, uncertain, and not immediate consequences of the actions of many, their right not to be killed may not necessarily be violated. Rather, their deaths are simply tragic and unfortunate even if they could have been avoided.
D) Lifeboat scenarios make it clear that there are many ways to die that do not involve a single person intending to kill someone as a certain and immediate consequence.
